steven hayes wrote a comprehensive and interesting piece trying to digest the media. he says, tucker, this is an effort to write al qaeda aught of the story. that "l.a. times" piece and what we are hearing from the media and administration is an effort to write al qaeda out of the story. no evidence found of al qaeda role in libya and the piece doughs on to not actually show that. >> what the cia talking points do not show is the intelligence communities concluded this video was in any way responsible for what happened in benghazi. here is how you know this is an orchestrated political effort on the part of the obama white house. you have cia officers attacks their agencies for its intelligence failures. that does not happen in washington with a pretty aggressive nudge from those in political power. there is just no way the cia is going to voluntarily take responsibility for this break down in intelligence unless pushed to. that's where this is coming from. megyn: help me understand as a journalist and not a political consultant how that narrative on the video helps t

he's in benghazi, he's a writer for time magazine, and we just want to mention that to our viewers, steven, because sometimes the connection can be a little spotty. what stands out to you from the conversation that you had with the guards on the ground? >> well, first of all, thank you for having me, glad to be with you. um, first of all, there was no protest outside the u.s. 'em embassy in benghazi on september 11th. i've spoken with many of the libyan guards, all the libyan guards who were on duty, and they've all relayed a similar story to me. the night was quiet, they suddenly heard shouts of god is great, and then the gunfire and explosions began within a minute or two. the guards were completely overwhelmed, and it continued throughout the night. the attackers came in, they let everyone else in through the gate, and attackers came in through the gate. so anyone in the compound at this time would have known this was an orchestrated attack from the beginning, so it's hard to make sense of the administration's claim that they were unaware of the circumstances for so long. jenna: stephen

and this from steven hayes of the weekly standard, which i think we should talk about. he writes in the magazine, the man suspected of organizing the attack on the u.s. consulate spent two leisurely hours sipping a strawberry frap on a patio and boasted he wasn't even questioned by the united states. it raises an obvious question. why is it more than a month after the attack a reporter can spend more than two hours with the alleged mastermind and no u.s. agent has approached him? >> well, by the way, president obama still did take out osama bin laden, and there's no question about that. and the leadership of al qaeda in many ways has been decimated, has been severely beat back. that doesn't mean that al qaeda has disappeared from the world, and the administration has never claimed such a thing. no question process has been made. it's chaos on the ground. for every report about one group participating, there's another report that it wasn't organized, it was a terrorist group but not necessarily linked to al qaeda. there is so much confusing information. and the reason th

ambassador chris stevens sent repeated memos to washington, even on the day he was killed, asking for more security. senator graham, is it conceivable that president obama didn't know how dangerous benghazi was, for americans? >> no. no administration will send the president of the united states out into the public arena, not telling him about an attack in april and june, and, tell me about the consulate attack in benghazi, what do you think about it, and the president said i don't know and i find that inconceivable. and this is going to be a case study, studied for years of a break down of national security, and, failed presidential leadership and senior members of the obama administration, failed miserably and the benghazi, libya conflict was becoming a death trap and the british left and the red cross left, because of the deteriorating security environment and we were requesting additional security and it was denied because we wanted to normalize relationships with a nonexistent government and we should have closed the consulate long before september 11th, or heavily reinforced it

in the case of libya, for example, the tragedy with ambassad ambassador stevens notwithstanding no american troops died in libya when we moved in to help remove "the dictator" gadhafi. >> without congressional approval i might add. >> if romney wants an argument about the need for a weaker executive, he's permitted to do so. i don't think that's playing where he wants to play. i think that, you know, where obama can be criticized is certainly on libya in terms of the attack on libya and benghazi. i was in libya for a month this summer, including a week in benghazi and the problem in libya is there's no sfablt there at all. there's no police force. there's nothing to prevent someone from an attack on any government facility. the obama administration should have known. they should have had more security there, and he's very vulnerable in that regard. whether or not it matters to voters pondering pocketbook issues remains to be seen, though. >> i'm thinking back a few weeks to the run-up to the first debate in denver. we heard a lot of voices saying, don't get too excited. debates don't matter
